Executive Cover Letter (Aerospace & Airline)

The cover letter below was written for an executive in the airline and aerospace industry. It is reflective of the conventional cover letter that executives send out. The applicant did a good job at showing his experience, qualifications and knowledge base. Further, the bullets that he included were very effective at summarizing the key aspects of his candidacy that he wanted to highlight. In the last paragraph of the cover letter he referred to the fact that if there was a challenge to overcome, his team and himself could make it happen. This subtle reference to teamwork will not go unnoticed to the sharp eyes of an experienced recruiter.
